Need help with Warden

sampol212 · March 2018

Hello

I run DPS Warden Magicka with over 300 CP.

Right now I'm using 5pcs set of Julianos (3 Light Armor pieces+1 Medium Armor piece+Main Bar Inferno Staff and Second Bar Lightning Staff)+5 pcs of Necropotence (Hat, Sash+Rings+Amulet).
At this moment I have two monster set shoulders - molag kena and Zaan. I mosly use Zaan for Crit.

I was thinking about droping one piece of armor from Julianos Set and lose 299 Spell Dmg for full Zaan Set. My question is - is It worth it?

Some day when I will have access to Maelstrom staff i probably will go for Necro+Zaan+Willpower jewelry but those are future plans.

What do you suggest?

In PVP, yeah, the extra burst damage from the Zaan proc is probably worth it.

In PVE, I don't know.

In pve I would stick to Julianos, that set will match anything in the game, no procs required. Pve is about sustained power and aoe is king, zaan is great single target but if I had to choose it would be julianos. Also remember that zaan has a short range and there are plenty of bosses in dungeons where standing that close for prolonged periods is just not feasible

If you want full Zaan, you'll have to lose Molag Kenna, not Julianos

I'd not bother with the 2 piece monster set, unless you're doing vMA or PvP.

Necro 5 piece + julianos is solid for you, or you could try mechanical acuity - think they are pretty similar, though. As you said, just wait until you get a maelstrom staff and then change things a bit.
